IPhone update apps error on iTunes

I have had my iPhone for years and I recently had to buy a new desktop computer. When I hook the iphone to my computer and open the itunes store and try to update all my apps I get the following error. Can someone PLEASE help me? I want to update my phone and can't until my apps are updated. Thank you!

Launch iTunes on the new computer.
From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer
Now try updating your iPhone.
You can update your apps directly from the iPhone..
If you see a small red "badge" on the App Store icon with a number, just tap the icon to install those updates.
But you do need to "authorize" the new computer regardless.

I have an iphone 3GS, I went to back it up / update apps through my itunes. I did this, but a certain app I download wouldn't work on my phone as "my iphone software needed updating". So I did, now I can't restore & my phone shows itunes logo with plug?

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

Why won't my iPhone 4 on iOS5 sync updated apps from the iTunes store?

Did you by any chance sync the phone to a different computer that uses a different Apple ID?

IPhone updates apps but iTunes does not

Here's the scenario:
I recently got a new Macbook Pro to replace my previous model. I manually migrated the contents over from the old to the new, including apps, music and so on. I authorized iTunes on the new Mac with my AppleID, the same one in use previously and with the iPhone. Now when I check for app updates in iTunes I rarely get any results for new versions when the iPhone shows many more updates. Apps update fine on the iPhone - for apps installed on the iPhone, of course - but iTunes doesn't really show updates (1 out of 10 at most). It's rather frustrating given not all apps I've purchased are currently sitting on my iPhone, meaning apps in the iTunes library/on the Mac are not getting updated.
Is there any way to fix this behaviour so that iTunes will reliably see app updates and download them accordingly?
- MacBook Pro 8,2 (2.0GHz quad core i7), Mac OS X 10.6.7, iTunes 10.2.x and 10.3.x.
- iPhone 3G, iOS 4.21
One step I've not yet taken that I am about to do is add all apps from the library to the iPhone in hopes that kickstarts things updating in iTunes but I'm not hopeful that will fix updates.

Update:
In what I felt to be an overly drastic move I one-by-one removed all apps from my iTunes library and downloaded each one again in hopes of ensuring there was no Apple ID issue. It took a couple days between doing that and app updates actually showing up but now iTunes is reporting updated apps in the sidebar but says there are no updates when you click the Check for Updates link.
Meanwhile, the Appe Store app on the iPhone reports software updates and grabs them fine. So obviously this issue is still in place. *** Apple?

IPhone - Update app and updated screen shots get posted to iTune

A few weeks ago we submitted updates for our 8 apps on iTunes. When we submitted the apps we added updated screen shots to the version of the app that was in review. We just found out that all of our screen shots on iTunes were updated over a week ago for our existing apps, but our update has not been approved yet. We did not update the screen shots for the version of our app that is "Ready for Sale". Is this a bug in iTunes Connect? Is this something we should not have done? It looks like you can add new screen shots for your updated app since iTunes Connect makes a copy of your app for the update. Were we supposed to wait until after our app gets approved to update the screen shots?
Thanks,
Stephen

Unfortunately the only thing that is tiemd with your update is the separate update changes text.
All other text and images are updated within a day so anyone making big updates needs to either:
1. Update manually after they notice their update is now live. Downside is there will be some people who view the listing before your changes are made.
2. Post the update photos and include a large note that this is for the coming update that is still being approved. Users can buy the current version and get all the features of the new version for free when it's approved.
As you've noted people may be downloading your current app thinking they're getting the features now shown, which will be frustrating for them.

IPhone sync apps with multiple iTunes accounts

I have a US iTunes account and a UK iTunes account because I am temporarily living in the UK. I am having a problem in which data associated with certain apps on my iPhone are periodically being deleted. When I update apps, I am sometimes required to login to the US store and sometimes the UK store. I think this depends on which store they were downloaded from but I don't know how to tell. I frequently get messages when I try to update that say I need to log into a different iTunes store to do the update. I am guessing that if I were to update apps that were obtained from the UK store while logged in to the US store, it might replace the app with a different version and in the process wipe the associated data. Is that possible? Is there a better way to deal with the situation so this does not happen?

Not sure. There have been other posts about syncing from two computers. Maybe you can find a previous post about this with a forum search.

Can't update apps (Error: 80320011)

Hi, one week ago I got an update for Nokia Music and Oreo skies. However, when trying to update them I get the error message 80320011. Since then, I received several other updates, and all (except these two) worked. I found out that this error code is related to the fact that these apps are currently not avaiable in the store (which I checked and is true). I am from Hungary, and I know that store is regionally very different. Do you think this is the reason?
Solved!

Hi NorbsLumia,
Error code means that the item is missing from the Store. As a workaround change Country/Region settings as United States, then update apps. After that you can switch back to your original country settings.
Hope this information helps.

Can't update via software update. Error on iTunes! How to contact support from Ukraine?

I reinstalled Lion via internet recovery and now Software Update crashes. I can't update or install new software. Error on itunes!

Hi,
The first generation iPad is limited to iOS 5.1.1. This is due to the original iPad not having enough power or memory to get to iOS 6, 7 or any further in the future.
All other iPads and iPad Minis can get to the current version - iOS 7.0.4 and at least until the end versions of iOS 7 or iOS 8.
Hope this helps, and Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I have updated to a new windows computer, and after transfering itunes library via iphone, the app section of itunes is locked and I cannot access it. How can I fix this?

I have updated to a new windows 7 computer, and after transfering my itunes library via iphone, itunes has locked me out of the app section of my phone. I can not add or remove apps using itunes. Is there a way to fix this? I have authorized, deauthorized, restarted, rebooted, and reset both my computer and iphone. Anyone got any ideas?? Thank you!

The safest way to do this would be to copy your itunes library to an external drive. For the purposes of this excersize the new Laptop would be the external drive

2.1 issues can't update apps from phone 3G/Edge/wifi & App errors in iTunes

I get from the iPhone "Unable to Download Application, it will be avail when you log onto the iTunes on your computer."
So when I try from the computer to "check purchases and sync" it still says I have 2 or so apps on the phone App store icon.
It also says that some apps have not been loaded to the phone because some errors have occurred, a list of 29 apps says they are not on the phone but the are on the phone>>??

What has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months in the future and then re-trying

Cannot backup iPhone 3GS. Error Message: iTunes could not backup iPhone because iPhone Disconnected. What is the fix for this problem?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me find a solution to my problem.
When a backup is attempted, it starts off as if it's working, then stops and the following error message appears: "iTunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". But, the iPhone doesn't really disconnect! It must be some type of internal glitch.
The iPhone is a 3GS and I have mostly pictures and contacts, two songs, a total of 33 apps. The iOS is updated (6.1.6). I do not know if this phone was ever jailbroke. I have been able to backup this phone before, but cannot now. The last backup was 9/21/13, it is now 3/2/14.
Sorry if there is too much info, or not the correct info to find a solution!
Also, I must say that although I am not a tekkie, I've seen many different types of various programs and I find that iTunes is not very intuitive...don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just my humble opinion.
Thank You,

Hey Lawrence,
A big THANK YOU!! to you! Your suggestions worked!
Before I changed USB ports (more on that in a sec...), I employed one of your suggestions that you gave to someone else with the same problem...and that was to clean the connector on the bottom of the phone with a soft dry tooth brush. I couldn't believe the amount of lint that came out! Especially what was found in either end...had to do some very careful picking. (Almost enough lint to knit a small sweater!!)
Changing the USB port was the second and final step required for a successful backup. My computer is a laptop, and I did have a USB Bluetooth adapter (for another device) installed. I removed the adapter, plugged the iPhone into that USB port, crossed my fingers...and it worked!!!
Now if I can figure out the rest of this darn program, I might upgrade to a new iPhone!
Again, thank you very much Lawrence!

Unable to update apps after converting iTunes account from UK to SG

Hello all,
I have contacted support ([email protected]), and after being served by countless support staff, none could really explain to me what I should/could do. All they have done after understanding my problem is to point me to "iTunes Feedback page".
So here's the problem: I cannot seem to update my apps. This all happened when I switched stores. Previously I was using the UK iTunes store. But since I've completed my studies and returned home, I changed my billing information to a Singapore bank. Doing so converted my iTunes store account to the SG iTunes store. Clicking on the "search for updates" in the iTunes App library lists several updates available. But because I am in the SG iTunes store and my apps were previously purchased in the UK iTunes store, there is no way for me to update it.
The strange thing is that my iPhone and iPad allows me to update any app - bought from the UK or SG store - without any problems. It is just that iTunes is rather picky about updating it. I have tried deleting a UK-purchased app and re-downloading the same app in the SG iTunes store, and two things happen. The first is that I won't get charged, since it prompts me "you have already purcahsed this item". I also notice that there is the "$0.99 Buy App" and not the usual "Download" label. The second is that despite the fact that I re-downloaded the app from the SG iTunes store, it still refuses to update it.
I'm really getting annoyed at this. Does anyone have the same problem, if so, what did you do to resolve it?

TS3297 Can't update apps or access iTunes store

Trying to update my apps on iPhone and iPad and can't access my iTunes store on windows 7.

Many thanks.
On PC just get the initial iTunes store opening screen but then it doesn't move on to the actual store.
With that one, I'd try the following document:
